Weekly Preview: October 21 - 25

Join Professor Lynn Phillips on Tuesday, October 22 at 7:00pm in 65 Bartlett for the film screening of Flirting with Danger.  Professor Lynn Phillips explores the line between consent and coercion in this thought-provoking look at popular culture and the ways real girls and women navigate their heterosexual relationships and hookups. The result is a refreshingly candid, and nuanced, look at how young women are forced to grapple with deeply ambivalent cultural attitudes about female sexuality. Question & Answer session to follow the screening with Professor Phillips.  This event is open to the public and deals with mature subject matter.
